"Those who have passed the initial process of recruitment will now go through official trials, first will be test of Endurance, then Comprehension and lastly Martial skill
I will keep it simple, those who pass the three trials will be directly accepted as ordinary disciples of Immortal Void Holyland or might even get a chance to be Inner Disciples if you are really worth it!"
Gao Wenyan clearly said his terms with a smirk over his face, there were still a lot of people here left, as they were standing at the bottom of a sharp peak with stairs surrounding it
The Core Disciples and Elders were standing on side lines observing everything and just then Gao Wenyan pointed towards the stairs of Peak and commanded
"This will be your first test! Endurance that will check your cultivation stability, internal strength and external strength, your cultivation doesn't matter much here
Those who manage to climb 300 stairs will pass the test, but you can climb even higher too if you want to check your limits!"
As he finished his words all people immediately rushed towards the stairs but just as they took the first step stairs the environmental pressure started to suppress them little by little,
Initially the pressure was ignorable but as they continued on the pressure started to increase higher and higher
"Amusing..."
Mu Chen smiled and slowly started to climb the stairs, Xi Shi also moved just beside him and right in front of all the gazes
Mu Chen and Xi Shi easily managed to pass by most of them, many people managed to reach the 200th stair but were already wheezing like dogs and cats in here
"Oh... As expected..."
"They are really cut above rest!"
"Their breathing seems so calm!"
"It seems like they will likely climb up to even 400 stairs..."
The people sitting over stairs just watched as Mu Chen and Xi Shi just kept climbing, by the 286th stair Xi Shi finally started to utilise strength of Law of Air but Mu Chen was still calm
And finally at 472nd stair Xi Shi gave up releasing heavy breaths
"You did amazing Xi Shi, I will be right back!"
Mu Chen praised Xi Shi with a smile, Xi Shi just nodded and quietly left the stairs while Mu Chen just continued as slowly the power of various Laws surrounded him
"Holy shit!? That's the 512th stair already!"
"It's as good as an elite Internal Disciple already!!!"
"He is just overqualified for this!"
"You are saying he has been here for just 20k years!?! Don't joke with me?!!"
The commotion started rising in ground seeing Mu Chen progress so easily, the Gao Wenyan also seemed amused seeing Mu Chen while 8 Core Disciples had their jaws trembling already
"Hmph"
Mu Chen scoffed and kept climbing as he also activated his aura and as he arrived over to 630th stair Mu Chen looked down with a few sweats of over his face
"This is enough I guess..."
"What are you saying you brat?? You can reach far more than just this much if you give your all! Why are you stopping just here"
Mu Chen suddenly noticed a figure old man caressing his white beard dressed in plain white robe with presence far more profound and overwhelming than anyone he has seen till now
The air around him seemed to tremble as if he didn't belong to merely this place, the space welcomed him like a servant and even Mu Chen felt a sense of little suppression as the Old Elder appeared in front of him
'The Supreme Elder!?!'
Mu Chen was completely surprised seeing the old man to point his half immortal eyes activated on it's own
Mu Chen slowly calmed his composure and closed his immortal eyes and gave a little bow to man in front of him and with a smile he questioned
"What is the highest record for a new recruit here?"
"Hmph! You are quite sly huh! Well that's to be expected from descendents of that old bone! But anyways, the highest record of 704th stair, that's my record I made who knows how many years ago? Well you can break it if it's you I guess!"
Mu Chen heard him and and started to climb higher as he commented
"Well if the senior insists, I won't break your heart"
[Ashura Chakra Bloodline activated!]
As Mu Chen said that he started moving even higher as suddenly a reddish black ring appeared behind his back
The old man was left little surprised as he saw that and was left staring into space with blank eyes as Mu Chen moved forward
"Wha-?! Ashura Chakra Bloodline!? This lost Ancient Bloodline, you found it huh! That Old Bone is sure to be amazed after this but how cheeky!"
"I will learn from you in the future then"
Mu Chen smoothly replied as the old man casually kept following besides him, with little smirk over his face he questioned Mu Chen
"Hey brat? Do you not fear I will punish you for acting so casually?"
"Well even if you did, I don't need to waste my mental energy thinking of what's ahead in future, I'm joining your Holyland so you can do whatever you want anyways"
The Supreme Elder smirked in amusement hearing this answer and questioned again
"Are you sure you are just 30,000 years old or something? Even I was 50,000 years old when I took the test here"
"Oh... You were talentless huh... What a pity"
"This brat?! I was the greatest talent of my era!"
"Well guess what?"
"What?"
"You aren't now"
"That stings a little"
"Hahaha"
Mu Chen sniggered and next moment suddenly the Supreme Elder turned to look at Mu Chen eyes serious face and questioned
"Jokes aside... Why is the Heir of Ancient Immortal Mu Clan joining my Holyland with this much talent no less... I don't dare say I will find another talent of your level for my Holyland in this era"
